cudan

Yet another textboard engine.

Goal:

Kareha style textboard + some modern revamp.

Limitations:

Minimalist approach meaning as less dependencies as possible.

Disclaimer:

Modern revamp doesn't mean JavaScript bloat. Minimalist approach doesn't mean "suckless" ideology. One should not take it to any side of extreme to make a convenient web site.

Features:

• inspired by good old Kareha:
• thread based structure
• thread index, thread list, thread subback
• sage, nonoko, nonokosage
• tripcode
• Atom feed
• innovation:
• tags (defined by admin, feed can be filtered by tags)
• subback: board stats, download threads,
• modernized web design (e.g. dark responsive theme, max width is not 100%)

Stack:

PHP8, XHTML5, vanilla JS, local JSON file as "database".

Install

On Debian-like, you will need to install these:

  apt install php php-simplexml # mandatory
  apt install apache2 certbot python3-certbot-apache git #optional

~.htaccess~ is not recommended by Apache. Instead you want to put something like this into site config (sites-available):

<Directory /var/www/cudan>
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        <Files conf.php>
                Require all denied
        </Files>

        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
                RewriteEngine On
                # Index redirect
                RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
                RewriteRule ^index\.php$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,L]
        </IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/cudan/lib>
        Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/cudan/templates>
        Require all denied
</Directory>
